Coatings & Paint
Waterborne lacquers and paints
The benefits
High quality, durable finish
Quick drying
Good for the environment
Vastly reduced emissions of solvents
Keeping it clean
As a company, Becker Acroma is making the transition from solventborne solutions to waterborne
solutions. Because we want to make environmentally-adapted solutions that produce the same results as
conventional techniques, while avoiding harmful emissions to internal and external environments
Apart from exclusive furniture and fittings, we'd like furniture and fitting producers to consider the
advantages of using our range of waterborne lacquers and paints; a cleaner product line, a dramatic
reduction in harmful emissions, fully compliant with local and global environmental legislation and safer
handling.
An added advantage of using waterborne lacquers and paints is that we have managed to minimize the
risk of skin allergies and irritations from the equation: ensuring safe handling and less hassle for
producers.
For producers, changing to waterborne lacquers and paints comes at a cost in terms of money and time. A
new production line, different applications, sometimes major changes, sometimes minor. This is
something that we can provide expert help with, and we think it is an investment worth making.
We'll leave the thought with you.
UV-curing
The benefits
High quality, exceptionally durable surfaces
Rapid process
Big productivity gains
Cost efficiency
Dramatic reductions in solvent emissions
What’s the deal with UV?
The deal is this: UV curing products cure in a split second, produce exceptionally durable surfaces and
have excellent stacking qualities. They are also safer to handle than conventional solutions when handled
correctly.
And that’s just for starters.
In their basic format all of our UV curing products are solvents-free, which is good news for indoor and
outdoor environments, while you save time in cleaning up after a production run.
At Becker Acroma we are developing new application technology to widen the application of UV curing
products. These new developments include sprayable and pigmented paint UV products that broaden our
customer’s scope for dreaming up and making new products. And getting them to market quicker.
Let us help you to make the switch and open new doors.
Go UV.
Waterborne UV curing products
The benefits
High-quality finish and surface resistance.
Requires minimal or no investment
No organic solvents – good for the environment
Minimize the risk of skin irritation and allergies
Less hassle, great finish
For profiled or planar surfaces, Becker Acroma waterborne UV curing products produce beautiful, strong
and resistant surfaces. Our fast-drying UV system simplifies handling, enhances the end result and is good
for the environment.
Containing no organic solvents, there are no harmful emissions. Machinery and other line equipment can
be cleaned with water that can then be recycled in the production process. Our solutions also create a
safer working environment because we have minimized the risk of skin irritations and allergies.
Our range combines UV technology with the application flexibility of waterborne technology and the finish
and surfaces possible with our solutions is on a par with conventional finishing techniques.
From a cost point of view, our waterborne UV curing products boost throughput while involving minimal or
no investment in new equipment. Also requiring less equipment than conventional solutions, they enable
easier handling; shorter curing times and can be used on existing lines with only minor adjustments.
Stains
The benefits
Light fast, acid-proof and heatproof
Add value to wood products
Wide choice of colours and effects
Create your own effects
Waterborne stains
Becker Acroma waterborne stains offer a trio of advantages: they produce beautiful finishes, they come in
a broad choice of effects and by reducing solvent emissions, they are better for the environment. Our
range of waterborne stains can be adapted for all types of application methods and are a simple and costefficient way of achieving appealing finishes.
Our waterborne stains come in almost every imaginable colour, are fast drying and can be used on all
types of wood substrate.
Solventborne stains
Our range of solventborne stains comprises fast drying stains, producing beautiful finishes. The solvents
used in these stains are ethanol and esters – no aromatic hydrocarbons or heavy metals.
Lacquers and paints for exterior use
The benefits
Protection against UV, rain and moisture
Protection against temperature variations
Highly resistant to chemical, lime and abrasion
Stops knot resin
A solution for all seasons
For windows, doors, garden furniture, panelling and other items exposed to the vagaries of weather and
variations in temperature Becker Acroma has a range of lacquers and paints to do the job of making them
beautiful, while providing protection against the elements.
Solventborne lacquers and paints
The benefits
Excellent application properties
Fast drying times
Durable, quality finish and wear resistance
Mild solvents – good for environment and workplace
Safe and easy to use
Our approach to paint formulation is good for the environment and our customers’ workplace. We use mild solvents such as esters
and alcohols - we do not use aromatic hydrocarbons carbons.
One-pack systems
One-pack systems are often the easiest to work with because of their good application properties and long pot
life. Most are fast drying, especially at increased temperatures and some have a built-in hardener that activates
on application.
Two-pack systems
Two-pack systems require a hardener or catalyst to dry/cure. They typically have excellent application, curing
and stacking properties in modern application lines and produce hard, chemical-resistant surfaces.
Typically, our two-pack systems consist of polyurethane and acid-curing products. The largest two-pack group is
acid-curing products. Using acid-curing products is cost-effective, offering fast curing, chemical resistant,
attractive surfaces, all while meeting the E1 limit for formaldehyde emissions.
Oils and waxes
The benefits
Based on mainly natural raw materials
Natural look, lustre and superior surface feel
Adapted for modern industrial applications
Enable rapid stacking
The natural look and feel
For cupboards, tables, drawer pedestals and fittings, Becker Acroma oils and waxes produce a natural look, lustre and superior
surface feel.
Our oils and waxes are based on mainly natural raw materials. They are adapted for modern industrial application
techniques and produce excellent results on most types of wood, especially pine and Nordic hardwoods.
WoodWash
The benefits
Inhibits and delays yellowing of pale woods such as pine
No self-inducing yellowing
Surface protection
Can be used with existing spray or roller application equipment
Adds value to traditional pine furniture and fittings
New opportunities for whitewood design
Protecting and preserving nature’s own work
WoodWash – the new finishing concept from Becker Acroma – solves the age-old problem of preserving the original look and
texture of newly sanded whitewood.
But, not only wood yellows with age.
Traditional lacquering systems yellow too. Which is why most whitewood furniture can soon lose its fresh and
natural look.
WoodWash delays the yellowing process in pale woods, like pine.
Now wood finishers, furniture manufacturers and designers can think again and use pale woods, safe in the
knowledge that WoodWash will keep pale woods looking pale and not yellow – at least not for a very long time.
For furniture, kitchen cupboards and other wood fittings WoodWash is a flexible, highly effective industrial
finishing system, easily introduced on existing application lines as a waterborne or solventborne product.
WoodWash can be applied directly as a single-coat treatment on newly sanded wood, or as a multicoat system. It
offers surface protection that is the equal of more conventional finishes.
WoodWash products cause no self-induced yellowing. After long exposure to light the finish may, at most, acquire
a hint of grey, like hand-scrubbed pine.
So, wood finishers, furniture manufacturers and designers of the world, pale woods are coming back – with
Becker Acroma WoodWash.
